Horses for courses really...Everyone has there own preference for either N/A or forced induction tuning. In terms of N/A or low-boost S/C my comments would be as follows:
- Low boost S/C produces a proven 250 BHP and circa 215 FT/LBS torque. You will struggle to get the same torque with N/A.
- Low-boost costs circa £3,600 DIY. You will not build a reliable, 250 BHP N/A engine for this, including management and mapping etc which is all included in the low-boost price.
- IMO, a 150K miler engine with a low-boost kit fitted to it will outlast a 250 BHP N/A engine build from new. The RPM, compression ratios, piston speeds etc do effect longetivity on a N/A engine. You won't get 250 BHP in N/A form without compromising this.
- The S/C conversion is future-proofed to allow further tuning and more power from the same platform.
- They idle and drive like a standard '6 at low RPM - depending on what you use the car for, a 250 BHP N/A engine may not be practical
